Shop goods from local survivors of traumatic brain injury

Homemade crafts and goods made by those who have experienced traumatic brain injuries, or who have triumphed over medical setbacks, disease or disability will be sold to promote micro-entrepreneurship. The artists and participants will keep 100% of their profits and will be supported by Galaxy therapists during the event. Pick up trinkets and goods ranging from jewelry, local produce, custom artwork, crafts and more.

Last year, 14 participants sold goods to over 300 shoppers, and this year should be even bigger. Check out the Center's
Facebook page
for posts about artists who will be at this year's Artisan Market.

If you're still not sure, Mr. Darcy, the center's own certified assistance dog and director of support services, will have his own kissing booth. Funds raised by the doggie director will go toward supporting the
NEADS World Class Service Dogs
organization.

Anyone who has faced a medical setback is welcome to participate and can do so by registering with Kim Jones at 734-627-8001 by Oct. 26.
